AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Balloon Signs

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Colourful bathing box/boatshed at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula

~
Weekend Snapshot prompt #46
~
On a closed door
Dripping
With a rainbow of
Splotched colours
One stray blue balloon
Sways gently in the wind
Like a sign
A symbol
A marker
~
Remnant of a weekend party?
Forgotten piece of celebration?
Or is it simply
A sign of welcome for
Celebrations to come?

I enjoyed this. That kind of speculation is fun. Maybe it's a sign of the past and the future!

I love your photograph, and the poem was a nice touch. I feel sorry for the kid that left his balloon behind.
